What it is and who needs it.
What the cement contractor bond actually guarantees
The City of Waco's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 22-72, bars anyone from constructing, reconstructing, or repairing a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or other concrete work on public property in the city without a $5,000 surety bond on file — approved by the city attorney and delivered to the City Secretary's Office. No bond on file, no work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Waco (the obligee), protecting the city's streets, curbs, and sidewalks. Contractors bonded under this program are held to a 12-month maintenance period after the work, during which defects must be repaired within 30 days of notice.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We keep the bond on file for the length of your permit and the full maintenance period so you are never caught mid-project without coverage.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City Secretary. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City Secretary's Office before you begin sidewalk, curb, gutter, or concrete work on public property. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
